If you seriously want to understand something in today’s economy and politics — which are now in fact the same

thing — first of all look more closely at the dynamics of oil prices. For example, in December 1998, the price per barrel

was 10 dollars, and today it is 110, so it has increased by 1000%. I will repeat this: one thousand percent. For your

reference, share of energy costs in the price of a loaf of bread is about half.

The second decade of the 21st century was unusually turbulent. Global economy and — as a result — all of us are under

the pressure of incredibly heavy political, environmental, and more recently — military circumstances.

Unpredictability has become a key feature of our life. I think you will agree that in just one year, from the autumn

of 2013 to the autumn of 2014, figures on the world chessboard have been reshuffled in a most bizarre, if not to say

disastrous, kind of way.

All these circumstances have not passed without effect on our corporate life. They pushed us to look for new strategies

to achieve the objectives from which we will never back down, to pursue the mission which we will never forsake.

During the difficult, but relatively predictable period from the early 2000th until late last year, Vision, figuratively speaking,

followed the strategy “My home is my castle.” Relying on the solid foundation of our own production facilities, the strong

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE – LEARN TO CHANGE

walls of our own trading infrastructure, the firm roof of our own share capital, and other attributes of a well-built home,

meant to protect its inhabitants from any bad weather and other outside threats, — are key features of this strategy.

But partially at the end of the past year, and at the beginning of this year in full — the whole world, including us, started

feeling more than just bad weather. It was a real cataclysm, which even the strongest construction cannon resist for

long.

And then, not wanting to be swept away by this geopolitical tornado, we have armed ourselves with a new strategy,

the main imperative of which can be expressed as: change with the circumstances, and, even better, — change faster

than the circumstances. I would have called this strategy “Yacht under Sail”, because, if you master the art of navigation,

then you can confidently go towards your goal even in the headwind, — that is, make the most adverse circumstances

work for the good.

At the beginning of this year objective economic circumstances, primarily the world raw material prices, have set the

lowest possible level of our product prices. This could have happened much earlier if it had not been for the security

margin mentioned above.

At the same time it became clear to us that we could no longer “play on defense”. And then, just as in the distant 1998,

when Vision successfully overcame the economic turmoil of that period, we again resorted to the strategic approach

“crisis as a resource” — rather than going against the circumstances, we would control them and use their hidden

potential.

We saw this kind of potential in the mutually imposed sanctions between the EU and Russia, which have undermined

the availability of the huge piece of pie called “the Russian market.” Using this new factor in our marketing, we have

achieved a significant price concession from suppliers. As a result, we were able to do something that seemed impossi-

ble a month ago, — to reduce the prices of almost all of our products by 25%, thereby recouping HALF of the objective

price adjustments of the beginning of the year.

Is this a big achievement? — No doubt about it. Should it be seen as our prize received once and for all? — No way.

Once you become champion, you have to constantly prove this title. If today we have received the so desired privilege

from our suppliers, tomorrow we may have to offer them something in return in order to keep this discounted price.

So what can we offer? The answer to this question is obvious and simple: turnover. The higher the turnover, the larger

the next order of raw materials will be. And the larger the order, the more flexible and cooperative our partners will be.

Now that we’ve determined what the future price of our product depends on, another thing becomes clear —

who it depends on. It depends on each one of you: whether you are an experienced leader or a complete novice,

an enthusiastic networker or a thoughtful consultant, a confirmed dreamer or a convinced realist.

So let us get to work together with renewed vigor, with true inspiration, with genuine dedication — so that the winds

don’t trouble our beautiful yacht, but carry it forward on the waves of success!

THE MANY FACES OF VIETNAM

Vietnam is an amazing country, where within a relatively small territory

you will find an amazing variety and richness of natural landscapes,

traditions and customs, characters and lifestyles, languages and dialects,

and culinary preferences. A journey to this country always turns into an

unforgettable adventure full of vivid impressions and events.

CHOCOLATE RIVERS AND PURPLE CITIES

To better understand Vietnam, let’s make a special “jour-

ney” across the country — from the ancient temples in

the north to the modern metropolis Saigon in the south.

After the majestic Hoang Lien mountain range, where the

small peoples inhabiting it maintain the unique culture

and traditions of the northern border, comes the pictur-

esque Ha Long Bay. Another 300 miles inland — and you

find yourself in the capital of Vietnam — Hanoi. Shady

parks and the emerald of city lakes, old pagodas and

temples — ancient and authentic Asia ironically watches

the rapid flow of motorcycles and cars on the streets. After

a night-long bus ride, or in an hour-long flight by airplane,

these views are replaced by the unique scenery of the

ancient capital Hue, which sinks in flowering trees. 80

km from Hue is the port city Da Nang – the Vietnamese

Sea Pearl, with white sandy beaches stretching for tens

of kilometers.

Continuing your journey to the south, very soon you

will find yourself in the ancient town of Hoi An, impressive

in its genuine Asian character and its unique atmosphere

vision voyage

Page 9: VISION PLANET October 2014

of peace and tranquility. After another few hours, the

traveler will come to the coastal city Nha Trang. Another

230 kilometers towards the southern border — and

you will see the infinite strip of the coast Phan Thiet.

A little further to the south, you enter the modern, lively

southern metropolis Saigon. It is hard to believe that just

a 2-hour drive separates the bourgeois Ho Chi Minh,

which European travel magazines call the “Asian Paris”,

from this amazing region — the East of Vietnam, which

lies in the cradle of the delta of the great Mekong River.

The endless chain of wooden boats, which scurry day

and night along the channels and creeks of this choc-

olate-colored river, reminds of old films about boat trips

along the Mississippi River.

Of course, our high-speed “journey” does not give

a complete picture of the country, but it helps to feel its

real flavor and incredible versatility. Multicolor and multi-

sided Vietnam appears before the guest in a new light

again and again, just like the goddess Guanyin — the

patroness of the Vietnamese Buddhists, whose images

with a hundred faces and arms appear in the temples and

pagodas of this amazing country.

ONE FAMILY

Amazing people live in this country. Open-hearted,

emotional, hospitable, hardworking, and cheerful, — they

compare themselves with flexible young bamboo that

bends, but never breaks.

Vitality — the main feature of the Vietnamese national

character — stems from Buddhism, which is the religion

of the population’s majority. Perception of time and life in

general in Vietnam is quite different from that in Europe.

In Christian cultures, time is perceived linearly, with

successive personal achievements and past stages as

markings on the lifeline. For the Vietnamese time is cycli-

cal, — that is, the end is always the beginning, — of a new

day, week, season, year, or a new life. It is no coincidence

that one of the sacred symbols of Vietnam is the lotus

flower. The Vietnamese say, that when we are looking at

a blossoming lotus flower full of life, in fact, we are see-

ing its withering and death; and when we are looking at

a lotus flower stooping to the ground — we are seeing the

birth of a new life and how the shoots of the new flower

already rise up to the sun.

Vietnamese can sometimes be shockingly curious,

because they are used to do everything together, and

share all their joys and sorrows with family and friends.

Like birds, they flock together. And it is no coincidence.

According to mythology, Vietnamese people descend

from the marriage of the dragon Lang Long Quan and the

fairy of the mountains — the bird Au Co. According to the

ancient legend, the couple gave birth to 100 eggs from

vision voyage

Page 10: VISION PLANET October 2014

10vision voyage

which 100 children were born, of which 50 went to the

mountains with their mother, and the rest settled in the

country plains on the coast. This is how the Vietnamese

nation came to be.

It is interesting to know that the Vietnamese language

has more than 60 words to appeal to the conversation

partner. They all correspond to some degree of family

relationship between speakers, and also to their age

and social status. So, for example, in a conversation with

a compatriot, a Vietnamese would call himself the younger

or older brother, the uncle or the grandfather — depend-

ing on the age and status of the person in front of

them. It is hard to disagree, that considering themselves

a single multi-million family shows a very high degree of solidarity.

WITH THE FIRST RAYS OF THE SUN

Vietnamese language with six tones is very melodious

and its sound resembles bird chirrup. On a relatively small

area, the sound of the Vietnamese language varies from

a solid and distinct Hanoi dialect to the soft and smooth

variant spoken in the central and southern Vietnam. The latter,

even when spoken in a raised voice, is usually perceived

by foreigners as a conversation of two old friends who

are exchanging courtesies. The variety of dialects vividly

reflects the character and mentality of the three key coun-

try’s regions — central, north and south, which were shaped

by the different climatic and geographical conditions.

Vietnamese are a nation of early birds: right upon sunrise

life is already at full swing here. People rush to the stadiums

and parks for the mandatory morning workout. Waiting for

hungry customers, street vendors occupy positions on the

sidewalks of narrow streets with aromatic pho soup in pots

on yokes, coffee jars, and baskets of baguettes. Loudspeakers

in the alleys start broadcasting morning news and national

songs. No matter what city in the country you find yourself in,

a morning walk is a must-do for getting acquainted with

the multicolored culture of Vietnam and the customs of its

inhabitants.

IN THE STRUGGLE FOR PERFECTION

Vietnam is the oldest country in Southeast Asia, with

the history of its civilization going 4000 years back. It is

a country with abundant resources, a bright, tropical

nature, and heroic traditions of struggle for the national

independence. Vietnamese chronicles tell about 13 liber-

ation wars which were fought by the Vietnamese people.

Being located at the busy intersection of the routes

connecting China and India — the two great civilizations

of the East, — Vietnam received the Buddhist school

Thien (Zen or Dhyana), and later Hinduism; however, the

Vietnamese people have sought at all times to preserve

their identity and national independence.

After the XVII century, Vietnam was also exposed to

the European culture, which was first brought in by

Catholic missionaries and merchants, and later by the

Page 11: VISION PLANET October 2014

11

French colonialists who dominated the country for about

100 years. The distinguishing feature of the Vietnamese

was not just the ability to perceive foreign culture, but

also to improve and adjust it to their own conditions.

Formation and development of the Vietnamese nation

took place not only in the constant struggle against the

foreign invaders, but also in the struggle against the nat-

ural hazards. Typhoons, floods, and droughts forced the

Vietnamese to build dams along the rivers, artificial lakes,

irrigation canals and embankments, which would retain

water in the rice fields. However, the nature has endowed

Vietnam with magnificent scenery and a rich variety of

landscapes. The country has 5 of UNESCO-listed monu-

ments of the world’s natural and cultural heritage.

WORLD HERITAGE

The first site on the UNESCO list is the Citadel of Hue,

which until 1945 was the political, cultural and religious

center of Vietnam. The old town, located on both banks

of the picturesque Perfume River (Song Huong) consists

of the Capital, the Imperial, the Forbidden and the Inner

cities. Its palaces, temples, royal tombs and castles strike

with their elegant architectural style and noble beauty.

In 1994, another site was added to the list of the natural

heritage of Vietnam — Ha Long Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Its unique landscape includes about 3,000 islands, rocks,

cliffs and caves. The bay, which locals call the eighth

world wonder, captivates with the views of the islands of

most bizarre shapes, almost each of them having a name

of their own. By the way, an interesting story has linked

this bay with the name of the Soviet cosmonaut German

Titov. In 1962, German Titov and Ho Chi Minh were sail-

ing over the bay. Titov with interest pointed to the islands,

and the leader of the Vietnamese people enthusiastically

explained that, for example: “It is an island “Chicken”, and

this one is — “Tea Pot.” One of the islands turned out to

be unnamed, and was immediately named in the guest’s

honor — Titov. In the near future, it is planned to put

a monument of the space conqueror on Titov Island.

In 1999, the World Heritage List was updated to include

to the ancient town of Hoi An and the ancient temple

complex of My Son. This historic town is an example of

a perfectly preserved trading port in South-East Asia of

the XV-XIX centuries. At the end of the XIX century, the

river connecting Hoi An to the sea stopped flowing by the

will of nature; so the city lost its status of a seaport and

handed it over to Da Nang. Nevertheless, the old town

shows perfectly preserved old architecture. The ancient

temple cluster My Son, located 30 kilometers from Da

Nang, is the architectural heritage of the ancient state

Champa, whose territory once stretched from Ninh Binh

province in the central part of the country to Ninh Thuan

province in South Vietnam. It has preserved samples of

ancient Champa architecture elements – e.g. fragments

of walls, columns and altars, richly decorated with orna-

ments and stone sculptures.

In 2003, the National Park Phong Nha-Ke Bang, rec-

ognized as the oldest in Asia, was also recognized as

a World Heritage site. A 65-km-long system of caves with

an underground river is located on the vast territory of

the reserve, which stretches to the border with Laos. In

2009, British speleologists who explored the dungeons

of Phong Nha-Ke Bang, made a sensational discovery:

they found the Shondong cave (“mountain river cave”

in Vietnamese), which is the largest known to modern

science. Dimensions of this gigantic underground palace

on the shores of an underground river are overwhelming:

150 meters wide and 200 meters high. The cave is not

yet fully explored by cavers. Vietnam has yet to reveal its

entire magnificent natural and cultural heritage to the world.

In his remarkable book about Vietnam “The Quiet American”, Graham Greene wrote: “I do not know at what point I really fell in love with Vietnam. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. When you get to Vietnam, in just in a few minutes you will realize things, the understanding of which at home would take years. This multi-color country with many faces has everything to deeply impress the traveler. Going to Vietnam, get prepared for the new and the unexpected! “

THE WANDERER. My name is Michael Bizyaev (VIP3S, Russia). I joined the

Company in November 1997. I work with my wife Alexandra. By education

I am a railway engineer, but I found my real calling at the Company. In my

spare time I like photography and a variety of other activities. Every winter my

wife and I go to the ski resorts and ski there. It is not the first time I participate

in Vision Voyage. My favorite trips were to Tunisia, Hainan, and Mexico. But

the best Company event is, of course, the Millennium. I will definitely join the

celebration in Vietnam next year. The company is a huge part of my life. And

when people ask me what “Vision Lifestyle” means to me, I answer without

hesitation — “Time, money, and health!” I want to develop a profitable busi-

ness that can be inherited, and to build 10 organizations.

I came to Morocco because it’s the opportunity to get acquainted with the

country where I had never been, and to be part of an exclusive program. I’m

not interested to be a common tourist and walk the beaten paths with a crowd of tourists like me.

I was always drawn to unknown routes and places. I wanted to be the Wanderer in this campaign,

and my dream came true! I want to travel as a lone wanderer, with maximum immersion into

the character of the country, with its ancient history and unique culture. I want to see the places

which no common tourist has ever seen!

CHURCHILL. My name is Mamedov Namik Hasan ogly (VIP 2S, Azerbaijan),

and I’ve been in the Company since July 2001. I work with my wife Rena.

I have three daughters. By profession I am an economic planner , and in my

free time I enjoy doing sports. In recent years, I took part in almost all Company

travels — to Turkey, Spain, Brazil, Seychelles, Tunisia, Hainan, Switzerland, Dubai,

and Mexico. I went on the Baltic Sea cruise. Each of the trips was interesting

and informative in its own way, but the most memorable was the magical

night in Dubai - the extraordinary gala dinner with the President. The boat trip

in Seychelles with the President is another bright spot in my life.

“Vision Lifestyle” for me is the life itself, — a fun, healthy, and beautiful life. If we

talk about events, the “Millennium” — for me is the best, most extensive and

expressive event. Newcomers get a lot out of this great event, as they see all

the 100% power of the Company.

People often ask me about what I want to achieve. I want to get the highest possible qualification

and the biggest paycheck, to be able to discover new places and countries.

I didn’t come to Morocco by the means of any promotions — everything happened naturally, and

above all because my new organization worked well.

In this promotion, I want to be Churchill. I admire this great man, a Politician with a capital letter,

vision voyage

Page 15: VISION PLANET October 2014

15

and a wise diplomat. In diplomacy, I try to learn from him as my example. I believe that living

where he once lived will give me a huge burst of energy. I want to feel his spirit. And it will give

me more strength for developing my business.

THE SULTAN. My name is Ha Thi Kim Ien (VIP2S, Vietnam). I work with my

husband, Nguyen Hak Hung . I’ve worked as a secondary school teacher

of English for 12 years in the Thai Nguyen province. I’ve always wanted to

get recognition of my work: title of the best teacher of the province, Master

degree in the English language, etc. In 2009, I decided to quit my job and

go to Japan with my husband for a study, Nguyen Hak Hung. In April 2013,

we went back to Vietnam, and since June 2013 we have been with Vision

International People Group. We have two children: a son of 14, and a daughter

of 8 . I am participating in Vision Voyage for the first time. I am sure that this

will be the most memorable trip of my life.

“Vision Lifestyle” for me is Health as the harmony of the physical and emo-

tional state. I love all the activities of the Company, but this trip is the highlight

of the year for two reasons. First of all, for us it is the result of long hard work.

Secondly, during travel you have a chance to see the world, to rethink the value of life, and then

come back with new energy for business development. My dream is to travel all around the world.

To make it come true, I am willing to complete all qualifications and to get the ability to join all

Company trips.

I decided to take part in the promotion, “Set the rhythm of your stay in Morocco” because I want

to see the world. I would like to live all the three lives, but the most interesting for me is the life of

the Sultan, the ruler of this vast country. Fortunately, the result of the promotion met my wish. Life

of the Muslim sultan should be very interesting and luxurious. I’m really looking forward to living

this life. To enjoy the most comfortable conditions, to stay in the most luxurious room, and to eat

the most delicious food. Isn’t it a real fairy tale!

POWER OF NATURE

Today, an increasing number of people around the world advocate a healthy

lifestyle. Fitness, proper nutrition, and taking care of our own and our family’s

health, have become an integral part of modern life. And if a couple of years ago it

all seemed just a fashionable trend, today it is becoming something more, namely

- the main driving force and the power base of humanity. Virtual Lab DEM4

develops products to help people in their quest to improve their quality of life.

Page 18: VISION PLANET October 2014

health18

Virtual laboratory space is an innovative field for unique developments, which allows involving the

best production technologies and highly skilled professionals from around the world in the new prod-

uct creation. Scientists from leading research centers of Europe, Asia and America became residents

of the DEM4 laboratory. Using all the accumulated knowledge and employing the latest technologies,

they create top-quality products for a healthy lifestyle. Being virtual allows the lab to develop and

produce the best products for controlling the quality of life, health and beauty, while avoiding extra

time and resource costs.

TRADITIONS OF HERBAL MEDICINE.

One of the residents of the DEM4 laboratory is the factory Švenčionių vaistažolės, which has 130

years of experience in producing natural herbal teas. It is one of the oldest plants not only in the Baltic

region, but in all of Europe. They steadily observe the manufacturing traditions, while actively intro-

ducing newest technologies and production equipment. This allows producing healthy and delicious

herbal teas which are enjoyed by people all around the world - from Australia to the United States,

and from Europe to Asia.

It should be noted, that the tradition of collecting plants and making healthy botanical mixes is very

strong in Lithuania. Specialized herbal shops and markets existed here back in the XVIII century. This

explains why the DEM4 laboratory has chosen to cooperate with Švenčionių vaistažolės - Lithuania

can be confidently called an expert in manufacturing herbal and medicinal teas.

While rigorously adhering to tradition, specialists of the factory do not limit the possibilities of produc-

tion growth. In collaboration with the leading world scientists, including experts from the Lithuanian

Page 19: VISION PLANET October 2014

health19

University of Medical Sciences, the factory constantly

improves their product ranges, creating new blends and

achieving exceptional properties of the products. Švenčionių

vaistažolės is a great example of how century-old traditions

and wisdom passed down from generation to generation

don’t contravene progress, but work in synergy with it to

create the perfect product.

THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Švenčionių vaistažolės products meet the most stringent

requirements and standards of quality control. Only natural

ingredients without artificial additives, colorings or flavor

enhancers are used in the tea manufacturing process.

Quality is confirmed not only by international certificates

(ISO22000, GMP, HACCP, HALAL, ECOagros), but also

by numerous awards from Lithuanian and international

trade fairs. In 2011, the factory received the certificate Halal,

granted to products that are suitable for people professing

Islam. This shows a very high grade of the product - this

certificate has been issued in Lithuania only twice.

Awards received over the years of work include the

bronze medal at the exhibition Prodexpo - 2004 in Russia,

gold medals at the “Lithuanian Product of the Year” awards

in 2005 and 2014, award in the specialized exhibition of

agricultural and food industry Agrobalt - 2008, and the

certificate “Ecological Product of the Exhibition” at the exhi-

bition “Choose Lithuanian product” in 2009.

BREAKFAST WITH THE PRESIDENT

Vision works in close collaboration with the factory on cre-

ating a complete range of natural herbal teas that contain

vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy, full of energy,

and feeling great. Besides having great health benefits, these

teas have bright, delicious flavors.

The smartfood product D4X My UnitDose® is also pro-

duced here. Composed entirely of natural ingredients

(hawthorn, wild rose, hibiscus, succinic acid, and honey), it

has a great effect on health, stimulates mental activity and

stabilizes the nervous system. The latest development of

the DEM4 lab is the special tea “Breakfast with the President”.

This specially selected oolong tea, flavored with Moroccan

spices, combines distinctive, exquisite taste with unique

healing properties.

“Breakfast with the President” is a product with a strong

“presidential” character: thoroughness of selection, high

quality of the raw ingredients, and support of the Company

values make it stand out among other tea blends.

Newest equipment and modern technologies are used

not only to test the final product, but to carry out thorough

control of all production stages, from the collection of herbs

and leaves to the final packaging. In order to preserve the

natural flavor and aroma, all the teas produced at Švenčionių

vaistažolės are packaged in teabags with no glue or metal

elements, and placed in a tight paper envelope. This ensures

that the tea quality can be preserved for a long time.

“Breakfast with the President” is a luxury product, which

brings this traditional hot beverage to a whole new level. To

keep the highest standards and the exclusive formula, this

tea was produced in a limited quantity.

lifestyle23

Vision distributors in Vietnam enjoy various kinds of sports, but they have a special

passion for football. They often gather to play when they feel like it.

The recently completed football championship Vision Cup was attended by as many

as eight football teams under the names of the distributors’ centers in the south of

Vietnam: Thong Tan Xa, Sen Viet, Dinh Tien Hoang, Buon Me Thuot, Vung Tau, Bình

Duong, Sai Gon, and Cop Xam.

This grand event was organized by the Company leaders: VIP-MASTER Nguyen Thanh

Son and his wife Hoang Nguyen Bich Tram (who have assembled five football teams),

VIP 5S Nguyen Dình Thung and his wife Bui Thi Thuy (two teams), and VIP 3S Pham Chí

Thanh with his wife Huynh Thi To Nhu, together with VIP 3S Vu Huu Loi (one team).

On April 23, the final match between Bình Duong, the team of Mr. Nguyen Dình Thung,

and Cop Xam, the team of Mr. Pham Chí Thanh and Mr. Vu Huu Loi, took place at the

Phu Nhuan stadium. After an hour and a half of the game, the competition ended by

the victory of the team Cop Xám with a score 5: 1!

Page 24: VISION PLANET October 2014

At the award ceremony, the winning team Cop Xam was

awarded the main prize of the championship – the Vision

Cup! The team Bình Duong received an award statuette

for the second place, and the best player of the champi-

onship Le Tien Dung from the team of Mr. Nguyen Dình

Thung, also received a special cup!

All the players and fans received a lot of positive emo-

tions; their distributors’ organizations have grown closer

to each other; and, most importantly, all participants have

become fitter!

The grand event Welcome to Vision united more than 8,000

members in 100 cities around the world under one brand.

The scale of the celebration exceeded all expectations. Everyone

came to congratulate Vision with its majority — children and

adults, distributors and clients, friends and acquaintances. In

many cities, several presentations had to be held on the day,

because there was not enough room in the halls for everyone.

And this is the best proof that our offer is interesting to the world,

and that it is in demand on the market.

Many guests who came to the celebration decided to sign

a contract with Vision. Contracts signed during the celebration of

the Company’s majority belong to the special, Gold series.

Dear distributors, welcome to Vision! Welcome to the best

company in the world! You made the right choice.

Company distributors live in different countries and speak different languages.

But there is one word that unites them all. It does not need translation and means so many things, - such as happiness, health, recognition... This

word is “Vision”. 12 years ago it completely changed the life of

Silvia Dyakova. Today, she is a leader in Bulgaria, a

participant of the Guardsmen’s Seminar in Hungary, a bright and

successful woman.

WHEN YOU BRING SOMETHING VALUABLE INTO THE WORLD, THE LIFE WILL

THANK YOU!

Silvia, you joined the Company a long time ago, in 2002. How has your life changed over these

years?

- I like to compare the girl I was then with the strong and successful woman who I am now, as

this shows exactly how much I have achieved. By education I am a construction engineer. I was

a true professional in my field, but was earning very little. In those years, three generations of my

family - me, my parents and my son - lived in a tiny one-bedroom rented apartment. And each

one of us had some health problems. I often asked myself: “Why do I, a person with a higher

education and a great, highly demanded profession, earn so little? And how can I change my life? “

I was invited to Vision by a man whom I respect and trust: my university professor Isaac Levy.

Probably like many others, this offer attracted me by the opportunity to improve my health and

the health of my family, as well as the promise of additional income. On January 15, 2002 (this

day will stay in my memory forever), I made my first purchase - bought the Booster case. This

gave me the opportunity to get my qualification before the Millennium and to visit Moscow. This

was my childhood dream and it gave me the opportunity to visit Russia on such a great occasion.

So you are asking me what has changed for me over the 12 years with Vision? Absolutely every-

thing! My family members got cured from many illnesses and feel a great deal better. I bought

business33

two spacious and beautiful apartments in the best area of

Sofia. But it is not about material prosperity alone. Thanks

to Vision, I have realized one precious thing: well-being

is first formed in our minds, and only then it can become

reality. Thanks to the Company, I realized that when you

bring something of value into the world (health, oppor-

tunities, information, etc.), life will reward you generously.

Even then, 12 years ago, I realized that education that

the Company gives is radically different from what we

were taught at school and university. Here, I do not just

receive important information, - I acquire the qualities

that are necessary for me and that I lacked before. Vision

helped me become a different person - communicative,

purposeful and active.

The skills that we get in the Company are invaluable in

real life. Here is an example. When my son was 11 years

old, he said that he found it difficult to learn, and refused

to go to school. Thanks to the advice from my sponsors,

the experience I obtained from books and seminars,

I was able to find the right approach and help my child.

Recently, my son has turned 24 and got his master’s

degree in law and economics.

I realized how much our mind impacts our quality of

life. Once and for all, I stopped complaining about the cir-

cumstances, pitying myself, and judging others. Negative

feelings were replaced by thoughts about success, health

and well-being. And the result came quickly! In the way

of personal development one should not forget about

such important thing as visualization. As a child I loved

to fantasize. But only in Vision, I learned to visualize the

goals that I want to achieve, and my future success.

A person, who does not have clear guidelines or a defined

purpose, cannot succeed. I learned to work with my

mind and direct my thoughts in the right way. Thanks to

the Company, I became a really creative person, and in

recent years I have been turning our trainings into real

theatrical performances. Besides being very interesting, it

makes the information so much easier to grasp!

We know a lot of examples of turning ordinary people

into leaders whom people will follow. And how do you

think has the Company itself changed over the years?

- The Company has undergone tremendous changes - it

has become wiser, more mature and more experienced.

We are constantly receiving new technologies, a powerful

information support, and excellent marketing materials

for the job. Unique new products are being released. As

before, Vision is always a step ahead of time. That’s why

people who come to us are not just those who want to

earn money or improve their health; they are successful,

bright and original.

And if in 2002 in Bulgaria people knew almost nothing

about dietary supplements, now many are aware of their

importance for the health. We only need to demonstrate

the advantages of our products to make people believe

in them. People want to be young and beautiful, and we

help them to achieve it!

Now the Company has a unique tool that enables

people to achieve their goals - the new program Step to

Dream. This is an opportunity for everyone to improve

their health, to preserve youth and beauty, and harmo-

nize their life. Back in March, six of my distributors and

I have purchased Step to Dream. You need just a little

time to learn how to use this super-tool, and you will get

business34

amazing results! And when you learn and use all the opportunities of OrgaNice, - your business

will rise to the highest level!

Company distributors know that here people don’t only work great, but also know how to enjoy

their free time. Vision Voyage is the best opportunity to do that. Why is it so important to qualify

for the journey, even though you can visit many countries on your own?

- You know, every journey with the company is an unforgettable adventure that no travel agency

in the world can offer you! We see the most beautiful places of the country and stay in luxurious

hotels. And, most importantly, we spend Vision Voyage in the company of bright and successful

people who think alike. During the journey we have interesting and productive communication:

we discuss business, success, health and well-being. We receive a precious opportunity to talk

informally with the leaders of the Company! Vision Voyage gives unforgettable emotions that you

cannot get during your usual trips abroad.

This is not just a top-class vacation, but also a powerful lever for the development of your busi-

ness on the international level. I realized this when I first went on the Company Baltic Sea cruise.

I wanted to be there, and to achieve this goal, I began to develop a new group in Spain. During

the qualifying period, 5 people from this country have signed contracts and entered my first line,

and I started actively working with them. Opportunity to join Vision Voyage is a strong motivation.

When I found out about the trip to Morocco, I immediately set my sights on it. I made a dream

collage and started to realize my goal. I qualified VIP2S and joined the ranks of the President’s

Guard. And all this happened thanks to my great team of distributors. During this period, we have

all grown personally and professionally!

And what are your impressions of the Guardsmen’s Seminar held recently in Hungary?

- It was simply amazing! I was proud of myself and my team. It is a great honor for me to join the

Guard and serve as an example for my distributors. At the seminar, not only I felt like a significant

person in the company, but also received a lot of valuable information firsthand. I heard the very

strong motivating speech of our President and Margarita Buriak! In terms of emotional impact, this

was as strong as our travels. I am sure that every distributor who is committed to success must

make every effort to get into the President’s Guard.

Now the second Guardsmen’s seminar will be held in Europe: first Hungary, now Lithuania.

Would you like to see the next one in your home country, Bulgaria?

- Oh, it would be a great honor for Bulgarian distributors and a great sign of recognition of our

achievements. Bulgaria is a very beautiful and hospitable country. We have so many great places

where we could hold the next event. And I am certain that this event would be a huge incentive

for Bulgarian distributors to become President’s guardsmen. This will bring Vision business in

Bulgaria to a new, higher level.

Silvia, do you attend all significant Company events?

Page 35: VISION PLANET October 2014

business35

- I try to do so. Every year I attend a few big events in Moscow and in other cities in Europe.

I participated in all of the Millenniums, except for the one in Mexico. The first Company event for

me was the VIP-Forum. The second was the birthday of the Company, which took place in the

“Olimpiyskiy”!

Millennium is certainly a unique event and the engine of our business. My sponsor Isac Levy

brought people to this event, and his organization grew rapidly. I try to do the same and I strive to

get each distributor join Millennium. Now I have a network of 200 people - so believe me, I know

what I’m talking about!

Our company’s next birthday is to be celebrated in Vietnam, and I plan to be there with my dis-

tributors. I am very attracted by the oriental way of thinking and by the atmosphere of this country.

I want my distributors to meet the distributors of Vietnam and be fueled with their boundless

energy and enthusiasm.

Such communication helps both professional and personal growth. A few times I was a speaker

at regional events in Bulgaria - both city- and country-level, - which marked the anniversary of

Vision in Bulgaria. In July, during the celebration of the 18th anniversary of the Company, I was

one of the holiday organizers in Sofia and in Stara Zagora. Now I am preparing for the VIP-Forum

Guardsmen’s Seminar, March 2014, Hungary

Page 36: VISION PLANET October 2014

business36

in Moscow. From the first day in the Company, I attended all the events of this level, and therefore

know their value like nobody else. They are very important work events: here successful distrib-

utors have a chance to become speakers, and distributors who have achieved remarkable results

receive recognition on stage. Every time the company prepares something new, original and

unusual, and all the forums are held at the highest level.

In the Company you always have something to strive for. It does not let you stand still. Can you

tell me about your current dreams, plans and goals?

- September 1, 2014 marked a start of my new working year. Almost like in middle school! I plan

to actively promote Vision Voyage and Millennium in Vietnam - among my distributors and all

those whom I meet there. I’m sure that after this they will be able to improve their quality of life

and give a boost to their business.

And my goal as a leader is to help people understand what heights they can achieve with Vision.

To make them feel this way: The company not only offers unique products and a better financial

situation, but also provides great opportunities for personal development. And I am happy when

I see how my distributors change, how they improve their quality of life, how their way of thinking

changes, and how they develop personally. My biggest dream is to build an international organi-

zation of many thousand people with Vision. And I am working towards this goal!

ONLY EXCELLENT GRADES!

Autumn is the time of hard work both for adults and for children. Children require special support in this period: to

adapt to the new school year, not to get tired in classes and hobby groups, to avoid sicknesses, and to easily get up

in the morning. The unique complex of vitamins and minerals in dietary supplements of the children’s line Junior Hit

will help you with all this.

WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING!

Unfortunately, vitamin deficiency in children is a very common problem. Parents complain of children’s disobedience

and crankiness, poor academic performance, low energy, bad appetite, and irregular sleep. Some try to solve these

problems through discipline and strict routines. Others - on the contrary, choose to be soft and too indulgent to their

kids. And some just accept it, blaming it on bad ecology, or bad teachers who could not find the right approach to the child.

Junior Hit is the main product of this autumn. Six effective dietary

supplements in bright and cheerful packaging will make learning easy

and will ensure that your children feel great.

Page 40: VISION PLANET October 2014

health40

In fact, many of the problems with the performance and behavior are caused by the lack of

vitamins and minerals. Your child gets distracted in the classroom and complains of fatigue. The

reason for this is iodine deficiency. And if there is lack of polyunsaturated fatty acids, a recent

A-grade student will spend hours on a simple task and act up on any occasion. Lack of vitamin

C can cause frequent colds despite taking medications.

Of course, a serious vitamin deficiency, which may lead to irreversible consequences, is rare

in modern children. But in general, 80% of Russian schoolchildren experience a lack of certain

vitamins.

Extended Line Junior Hit will help solve these problems. Junior Hit will delight children not only

with the new design of bottles and boxes with funny animals (each product of Junior Hit has its

own hero), but also with a pleasant taste. Chocolate paste, fruit chews, funny fish-shaped gelatin

candies with citrus taste - are real treats, which every kid will love. Parents will never have to

remind their children to take their vitamins! Each supplement from the range has its own task, and

their performance always deserves an excellent grade!

JUNIOR BE SMART: HIGH INTELLIGENCE

The animal symbolizing this complex is the whale, the animal with the largest brain. It is easy to

guess that this supplement is meant to help your child cope with overloads at school. After all,

polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) Omega-3, contained in this supplement, are responsible for

thinking skills and memory. Every parent knows how difficult the school program is now, even

in the first years of elementary school. But this is not the only thing with which modern little

Page 41: VISION PLANET October 2014

health41

are needed to strengthen the child’s body in a period of

intense growth, as well as to maintain healthy teeth, nails

and hair. The child’s organism develops rapidly, and for

that it needs the right construction material - calcium. For

this valuable mineral to absorb well, we added the needed

“conductor” elements, the best of which is vitamin D3.

On sunny days, this vitamin is synthesized by the body

itself, but in the gloomy autumn and winter with short

daylight hours, it needs to be taken in additionally. Silicon,

which is contained in the bamboo powder, is needed for

the proper formation of tendons, cartilage and joints. In

addition, it is involved in the metabolism of phosphorus,

strengthening tooth enamel and preventing the develop-

ment of caries. This is especially important during the change

of primary teeth to permanent.

JUNIOR BE HEALTHY: PREVENTION OF SEASONAL

ILLNESSES

Kangaroo, who represents this supplement, - is the only

animal that cannot move backwards. It appears on the

coat of arms of Australia as the symbol of the country’s wish

to move forward. For the same reason it is the symbol of the

Junior Be Healthy vitamin complex, which will help our

children never to give up - not even under the attack of

seasonal illnesses. Colds and other respiratory infections do

not only hit the immune system, but also negatively affect aca-

demic performance: it is difficult to catch up with classmates

after missing two weeks of school. The consequence is bad

grades, which in turn can lead to stress and lack of confidence.

prodigies have to cope: after class they rush to attend

additional classes and sports sections, so their day is as

long and eventful as that of a working adult.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids not only help to

handle physical and emotional overloads, but also reduce

hyperactivity, increase diligence and stress resistibility.

The complex contributes to the proper development of

the brain, the nervous system, and eyesight. Moreover,

it improves cognitive development and concentration,

which is so important for learning new material. And

most importantly, your child will never feel the unpleasant

taste of cod liver oil when taking this supplement, - only

caramel and fruit. Your child will be happy!

JUNIOR BE BIG: STRONG BONES, HEALTHY TEETH

The animal representing this product is a giraffe - the

graceful resident of the African continent with incredi-

ble flexibility and a super-strong skeleton. Junior Be Big

is based on calcium, vitamin D3, and bamboo powder,

which is a natural source of silicon. These components

Page 42: VISION PLANET October 2014

health42

Active ingredients of Junior Be Healthy are propolis and

vitamin C. Propolis strengthens the body’s ability to fight

infection and reduces capillary permeability. Vitamin

C effectively increases resistibility to all kinds of patho-

gens - parasites, viruses, microbes. Additionally, this

vitamin stimulates activity of macrophages - specialized

cells, which absorb microbes and foreign substances, and

makes the child’s body cells impermeable to viruses.

Junior Be Healthy is perfect for prevention of illnesses,

including viral infections, as well as for improving the

condition during sickness and reducing the risk of

complications.

JUNIOR BE WISE+: GREAT SOURCE OF IODINE

FOR THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND INTELLECTUAL

DEVELOPMENT.

The owl - symbol of wisdom - is displayed on the

package of Junior Be Wise +. This dietary supplement

provides the child’s body with the necessary amount of

iodine. Deficiency of this element is most often seen in

schoolchildren from junior and middle classes. Common

symptoms of iodine deficiency are lack of attentiveness

and inquisitiveness, and chronic fatigue. Children get tired

quickly and do not pick up new study material. Junior

Be Wise+ replenishes iodine deficiency in the child’s body

and actively supports brain function.

Iodine and selenium, which are also included in the

complex, normalize the work of the thyroid gland, the

nervous system, and the brain. These elements increase

reaction speed, attention, memory and perseverance;

improve digestion and appetite, and normalize sleep.

Schoolchildren taking Junior Be Wise+ are cheerful, active

and eager to learn.

JUNIOR BE STRONG: STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE

SYSTEM

Lion is the royal figure in the animal world, and Junior

Be Strong is the royal supplement to protect the immune

system. Also it is the children’s most favorite vitamin

complex: who can refuse delicious and healthy choc-

olate paste for breakfast? Junior Be Strong contains

Page 43: VISION PLANET October 2014

health43

very valuable ingredients: acerola extract and royal jelly. Acerola is the richest natural source of

cold-preventing vitamin C, and royal jelly is an effective immunity booster. Even small dosages of

royal jelly contain a large number of biologically active substances that promote rapid recovery

and strengthen the body’s defense system. Royal jelly is also rich in phytoncides, which prevent

the growth and development of bacteria.

JUNIOR NEO +: ALL YEAR ROUND VITAMIN SUPPORT

Dog is everyone’s the most favorite pet and a true friend of children. So it’s no coincidence that

the dog symbolizes the vitamin complex which is so essential for every kid. While other dietary

supplements solve specific problems of growth and development, Junior Neo+ provides overall

harmony of the period of active growth, increasing the child’s physical, intellectual and mental

abilities. Junior Neo+ makes the child’s nervous system more stable, increases their cognitive and

motor activity, prevents fatigue and extra excitation, and promotes proper formation of all physical

systems and maintenance of good health.

The animals of the Junior Hit zoo have a common goal - to provide children with all the vitamins,

macro- and micronutrients necessary for their harmonious development, excellent health, good

mood, and great achievements. Welcome Junior Hit this autumn, and help your children be

healthy and happy!

Director of Vision Research Department of

quality of life and nutrition, PhD in medical science

Svetlana Akolzina.

Svetlana, many parents are

concerned about how many children’s products from the

line Junior Hit can the child be taking simultaneously to

avoid an overdose? Does the needed dosage depend on

the season?

Vitamins, macro- and micronutrients are essential food

components that directly affect the health of children,

their resistance to disease, and their physical and mental

performance. There can be many reasons for the lack of

specific nutrients in a child’s diet. For example, unvaried

food, loss of vitamins and minerals during industrial pro-

cessing or during cooking at home (e.g., wheat flour loses

up to 90% of B vitamins during the manufacturing process,

and peeled potatoes lose more than 20% of their minerals

when boiled), during storage, when violating the technol-

ogy of growing vegetables and fruits, and so on.

Regarding vitamin supply, it is important to note that vita-

min deficiency is not only common in winter and spring,

but also in summer and autumn, which are seemingly

favorable seasons. Institute of Nutrition research indicates

that in the summer and autumn vitamin supply improves

in general, but it’s mainly due to the increased supply of

vitamin C, folic acid (vitamin B9) and beta-carotene. And

this improvement is expressed primarily not so much in

reducing the frequency of hypovitaminosis, but in decreas-

ing its severity.

What are the signs that show vitamin deficiency in kids

that parents should know about?

A child with hypovitaminosis gets sick more often,

has more severe clinical symptoms of diseases, the

effectiveness of medical treatment is reduced, and the

illnesses often become chronic or give complications. You

should keep in mind that clinical symptoms of vitamin defi-

ciency appear gradually, and lack of each vitamin always

first shows mild signs. Check whether your child has any of

the below symptoms:

Swollen or bleeding gums - first there are red spots on

the gums near the teeth, and then the rim, which initially

has a bright red color, becomes bluish. Gums and papillae

between teeth become swollen, and the entire mucous

becomes bluish-red. When pressed, or during brushing,

there is bleeding. The reason for this is the lack of vitamins

C and P (flavonoids).

Skin changes - skin on the elbows, knees, calves, and thighs

have skin nodules that look like goose bumps. Sometimes

they have a blue-purple color. They can be easily scraped

off, leaving reddish spots. The reason is lack of vitamins C

and A (beta-carotene).

Dry skin - the skin becomes pale, dry, sometimes with

a yellowish or grayish tint. Skin on the elbows and knees

coarsens, thickens, and shells. This is a sign of vitamin

A deficiency.

Oily skin - skin has a greasy, shiny look. First, you will see

rashes of yellowish-white color, which then form crusts

in the wings of the nose, in the nasolabial folds, on the

forehead and on the ears. If you scrape them off, you will

see shiny red surface underneath. Openings of sebaceous

glands expand and form whiteheads and blackheads. The

reason is lack of vitamins B2 and B6.

Changes in the appearance of the lips. Lips become pale;

where they are closing, mucous membrane becomes shiny

and red. The top layer of the mucous membrane on the

entire surface of the lips sheds; lips become swollen and

red. You can see vertical cracks on the lips, sometimes with

reddish-brown crusts. The reason for this is lack of vitamins

B2, B6, PP.

Angular cheilitis. First, skin surface in the corners of the

mouth becomes pale and begins to get wet. Then you

will notice cracks, which become covered with yellowish

Page 45: VISION PLANET October 2014

45

crusts. Underneath the crusts that flake off there appear

sores, which leave whitish scars after healing. This shows

the lack of vitamins B2 and B6.

Changes in the mucous membrane of the tongue. Top

layer comes off, leaving the surface shiny and red, and then

crimson. Subsequently, the tongue enlarges, becomes

swollen and irritated, with imprints of teeth on the sides. The

reason for this is lack of vitamins B2, B6, and PP.

“Geographic tongue”. Surface of the enlarged tongue has

lengthwise and crosswise cracks. Its surface resembles

contours of the earth, hence the name of the condition. It

can be characterized by burning sensation and excessive

salivation. The reason for this is lack of vitamins B2, B6, and

PP.

Changes in the appearance of the eyes. Red capillaries on

the white of the eyeball become visible, especially at the

edge of the eye cornea. Sometimes there is a purple rim

around the cornea. The reason for this is lack of vitamin B2.

Regarding mineral sufficiency, it must be said, that certain

food components have a positive effect on the body’s abil-

ity to absorb particular minerals (e.g., vitamin D is essential

for calcium absorption in the intestine, Vitamin C facilitates

absorption of iron, particularly from foods of a vegetable

origin) while others foods (e.g., wheat bran phytic acid or

tea tannin) can obstruct absorption of calcium, iron and

zinc. For some time, the body is able to maintain its min-

eral metabolism on its own. If the supply of minerals from

food is insufficient, the body will use mineral substances

contained in the muscles and bones. Most common are

deficiencies of calcium, iron, iodine, selenium and zinc.

Calcium deficiency is shown in muscle weakness and

fragility of the bones; iron deficiency shows in shortness

of breath, fatigue, anemia, and decreased resistance to

infectious diseases; iodine deficiency leads to appearance

of a goiter and apathy; deficiency of selenium and zinc is

characterized by slower growth and delayed puberty.

Is it possible to reduce the risk of vitamin and mineral

deficiencies, and make the child’s diet more healthy and

nutritious?

Yes, it is possible, first of all through a good selection of

dairy and vegetable products, and through the use of

dietary supplements, which contain additional vitamins

and minerals. When choosing dietary supplements for the

child, it is important to think about the daily requirements of

vitamins and minerals for the given age group and gender

(“Norms of physiological needs for energy and nutrients

for different population groups of the Russian Federation”

2.3.1.24.32-08, Ministry of Health), health conditions (includ-

ing allergic history, presence of chronic diseases, existence

of signs of vitamin or mineral deficiency, etc.), and the level

of physical and mental stress. In the case of serious allergic

history or a chronic illness, you should consult with your

doctor when choosing dietary supplements.

It is important to remember that dietary supplements

are mainly intended for use in the diet of a healthy person

as a preventive measure, but also may be used as part of

a special diet, when in case of a particular illness the need

for certain food components or biologically active sub-

stances changes. Timely and correct inclusion of dietary

supplements in one’s diet can help to eliminate existing

misbalances and various disorders caused by them.

Junior Neo + has always stood out among other dietary

supplements. In the renewed line for children Junior Hit,

where all dietary supplements have a defined action,

Junior Neo + is recommended as a universal dietary sup-

plement. What is so special about this vitamin complex?

Junior Neo + contains effective antioxidant combinations,

namely: Vitamin E with Vitamin C and flavonoids (from

lemon peel extract), and beta-carotene with zinc, which

have a strong synergistic effect. And, since the activation of

peroxide and free-radical processes is the mechanism that

underlies pathogenesis of almost all diseases, and results

from any adverse effect on the body, the use of such an

effective antioxidant complex as in Junior Neo + allows to

solve many problems in illness prevention.
